The 177th episode of tvN‘s ‘Naked World History’, which will air on the 12th, will delve into the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union that trampled Eastern Europe.

According to the production team, Professor Kim Chul-min of the Department of Serbia and Croatia at the College of Eastern European Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies will be the lecturer. Professor Kim Chul-min, a top expert on Eastern Europe acknowledged by the Korean academic community, will reveal in detail the oppression of the Soviet Union and the process by which Eastern Europe resisted it and found freedom.

Professor Kim Chul-min will introduce a shocking incident that occurred in Eastern Europe in the 20th century, shocking the cast. After World War II, the Soviet Union secured control over Eastern Europe and continued to brutally suppress and control them, and in response, self-immolation incidents that contained the meaning of resistance occurred simultaneously throughout Eastern Europe.



Professor Kim Cheol-min adds to the surprise by mentioning the fact that Stalin created a puppet regime by putting forward Eastern European dictators who called themselves ‘Stalin’s dogs’, and that he also engaged in economic exploitation and military domination of Eastern Europe. You can find out why the Soviet Union wanted to communize Eastern European countries and what the ending was of the spring of democracy in Eastern Europe through this day‘s broadcast.


Meanwhile, actress Han Soo-yeon and Ilya from Russia will be joining us as travel mates for this day. Han Soo-yeon, who lived in Hungary for 9 years, draws attention by vividly describing the situation in Hungary that she experienced firsthand when the communist regime collapsed. Ilya is known to have been absorbed in the lecture, saying, “Not only I, but also my parents’ generation did not learn what happened in Eastern Europe occupied by the Soviet Union,” raising curiosity.

The broadcast will be held at 10:10 p.m. on the 12th.
